An entry-level luxury sedan or a midsize luxury sedan? Hmmm.

im copping a TL next year for my bday wdp w/ebony interior
good luck finding that color combination (rarest of the bunch)...pretty sure they only made that color combo in 06', btw.
i'm looking for a TL in the next year or so too...i like the 07'/08' model better than 04'-06', so i'll probably save up a bit more until i find one.
check out acurazine (forum about acura's) for more info before your purchase...
OP...get the TL. you're going to have to save up a lot to go from an 04' TL to an 07' GS, especially with all the options that come standard with the TL. my bro has an 04' TLwith about 70k miles and he hasn't had any problems with it so far...most of the issues with the 04' TL were linked to the earlier production models, not the later production models (can't remember how to tell them apart, but you should be able to find it on acurazine).

good point too. considering both of these cars aren't meant for the track really and the GS is still really a "Lexus" (excluding the IS-F and LFA), test drive both cars and see which one you like more. funny how the newest hybrid version of the GS technically has the best performance though.Originally Posted by YoungTriz
most average drivers cat tell the difference between FWD and RWD in regular day ( safe ) driving... take the car out a open track and push the cars to the limits then you feel how much work the front wheels have to do.... FWD cars have come a long way especially in acura's when they are pushing 290hp....

you can definitely find 06 GS300 for around 20k or under with 60k-80k mileage. If you want a 07+ GS350 I'd say give it a year or so you will start seeing higher mileage 07s go for low 20sOriginally Posted by Mag1c12783
Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a 98 Integra Gsr right now but since I’m in my mid 20s now, I want to upgrade something that’s larger and fits my age.
I had a chance to drive a 06 GS 300 and the ride was definitely smooth and the refinement inside was solid. When do you guys expect the GSs’ to dip under $20k given that there maybe a new model coming out in 2011?
I’m going to test drive the TL tonight. I’m assuming the TL will probably be a funner car to drive given it’s a stick shift. Plus the fact that I may be able to get the car for $15k or maybe even less is making it very tempting.
like i said before do you think you are really gonna push the car to the limits or drive aggresive to tell the difference between FWD and RWD?....Originally Posted by teatime0315
GS350 easy. RWD>FWD. all that HP on the TL is a waste since its FWD.
I almost bought a TL but decided to buy something cheaper and save for a proper RWD.
what did you think after test driving the TL? i still haven't test driven the 07', i've driven my brother's 04' a few times though...Originally Posted by Mag1c12783
